Pros
Great place to accelerate your career and learn from the best in terms of both technical and soft skills. The way they do things is unlike other agencies and there’s transparency with the client which I like. Good people to be around and there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice when needed. While the team is still growing, the management is trying to build a culture and it is evident despite limitations due to covid.
Cons
As with all agencies, this is a fast paced and demanding environment which may not be for everyone. However, if you do stick it out, the experience is definitely fulfilling.
Pros
One of the significant advantages was the remote working environment, which allowed for SOME flexibility and a better work-life balance. Additionally, the company offered competitive remuneration, especially for those who negotiated their compensation effectively. However, I'd like to add that beyond the competitive remuneration, there isn't a whole lot of employee benefits specifically for contractors.
Cons
The management's approach to running the business left much to be desired. The CEO's constant pursuit of shortcuts and corner-cutting practices hindered progress and made it challenging to achieve KPIs. This was exacerbated by the lack of proper tools and resources to support employees in their roles, hindering their potential for success. Furthermore, the company's culture suffered due to the predominantly remote work setup. There was little effort invested in fostering a sense of camaraderie among colleagues, leading to minimal communication and interaction beyond work-related matters. The management's lack of transparency added to this issue, as employees were often left in the dark about important company decisions and developments. Another discouraging aspect was the lack of clear opportunities for professional growth. The absence of a well-defined career path left employees uncertain about their future within the organization. Moreover, the management's micromanagement style stifled creativity and limited opportunities for self-expression and innovation. Work discussions were inadequate, with little room for employee input, resulting in a dissatisfying work experience overall.
Pros
The best way to describe working at ROAS Media is you are given the best opportunity in the world to be surrounded by goal-driven people, working with ambitious clients, and the free reigns to develop yourself the way you want to develop your career in the short term, medium term and long term. Being a part of the company's fast and exciting growth, the dynamic between every single person in the team makes this feel like a part of a family, working together towards the same goal, supporting each other whenever help is needed, both professionally and as friends. As the team grew, the family-oriented culture never dissipated as the team continues to encourage new joiners, helping them settle into the team's dynamic culture. Personal and professional growth is also heavily encouraged, assisted by a very strong support system from within the team, whether it comes from the managers or peers of similar level. Adding onto that the fiery ambition for the company to grow further and become the best, surely fuels personal development goals.
Cons
Working in a business that is constantly moving and growing, the team can be a little bit stretched at some points when new businesses development is ahead of hirings. In saying that, plans are usually in place to grow the team further.
